We have been working on generating workshop topics in areas that are not typically addressed and / or in areas where we hear need. One of the areas that I have had multiple requests around is a workshop on the topic of Autism and male sexual health (sexual health across the life span).

I have had the opportunity to do some smaller workshops for specific groups, but with the general response and interest I thought I would survey FEAT members to see if a larger workshop on male sexual health is indeed an area of interest. To chime in with your two cents please fill out the following survey.
